Abstract (en)

An object of the present invention is to provide an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal receiving apparatus that is capable of compensating for channel estimation errors due to the receipt of signals when moving fast and thereby properly reproducing transmission data. Such an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed signal receiving apparatus (100) includes a discrete Fourier transform unit (1) for transforming a signal that has been frequency-translated to a desired frequency, by the discrete Fourier transform, to demodulate the signal into a sequence of subcarriers, a channel estimation unit (2) for estimating a channel characteristic for each subcarrier, an equalization unit (3) for outputting an equalized signal that is obtained by equalizing the subcarriers and a header signal that is synchronized with a received symbol, a timing generation unit (4) for generating, based on the header signal, a timing signal used for downstream processing, a memory unit (5) for repeatedly outputting an equalized signal n times, where n ‰¥ 2 , a filtering unit (6) for filtering an equalized signal based on a filter coefficient and outputting a signal that is compensated for the nth equalized signal as a demodulated signal, and a coefficient update unit (7) for computing a filter coefficient and updating the filter coefficient to a computed filter coefficient in the filtering unit (6).
